I might be totally blind, but does anyone see any info about the Welcome Weekend for admitted students?

I might be wrong, but I think you have to accept your offer from the application portal and then login here: mywharton.wharton.upenn.edu

Wait so you're saying there isn't a welcome weekend this year for admitted student BEFORE we accept our offer? Feels kinda unfair that we have to accept before the welcome weekend. I honestly feel like I have to be missing something.

It would be best to contact the ad com directly. I haven't been through this for about one year. My recollection was that it was an admitted (and accepted) student meeting. Maybe it is different this year.

did anyone get waitlisted? wondering the chance to get off the list.

ricardorr04 The Wharton MBA is an intensive program and I am afraid you won’t find enough time to also work while doing the Wharton MBA without sacrificing the MBA experience. Are you talking about the Part time or executive MBA program? If you are talking about the Full-time MBA, I think it is advisable to quit work before you start your MBA :)

thank you! i feared the same since I work in investment banking, will definitely have to quit before I start... I appreciate the advice

Do you know if Wharton has any guidelines on what additional mats we can send in from the waitlist? Or are they pretty much open about it? First time applicant:(

youdbee mats? I guess you are talking about additional updates? I am tagging a few who were also waitlisted to see if they can comment here. nokk4321 vivchong treuthmc2 caffeineoverload Sij4eu Additionally, you can go through last year's waitlist topic and see what kind of updates the applicants sent.
